    How Old Is Your Lawn Mower(s)?? And How Many Hours Approximately?

    Also a JD 318, 1986 with just under 800 hours. And a 1969 JD 140 H3 with untold hours, rebuilt by previous owner. Both are incredible workhorses, I wish I had more grass to cut with them.

    How Old Is Your Lawn Mower(s)?? And How Many Hours Approximately?

    Snapper self propelled from ~2004, put a castor wheel kit on it recently. 7 hp Intek, wild guess is around 250 hours. Used extensively with a 7 year vacation in the middle. Recently picked up a V212 Snapper aluminum deck with a Kawi 5 hp repower. Runs great, plenty of power for bagging or...

    Reuse of former military bases

    What underground lake? I'm currently stationed at Dover, and thankfully a few miles away living off base. A quick Google search pulled up some landfills with toxic chemicals on base, but no large quantities of jet fuel. Curious as to what you're referring to. Thanks!

    My snapper Ninja mulching blades are up to about 50 bucks. I feel your pain.

    Do you usually sharpen or buy new blades?

    I wouldn't. Vibration will be bad, and it won't self-center. Even if you got it perfect, it could slide out of alignment during normal operation. Blades need the proper arbor mating surface to run properly.

    Helped a neighbor today and cut her grass as she prepared for her birthday party. Was rewarded with gas money and birthday cake. She is a professional baker/cake maker, so needless to say I was more than happy to help out. First time trying out the new turf tires on the machine. 1969 JD 140...

    United Airlines Places Orders for 100 787s + 100 Options, Orders 56 737MAX + 44 Exercised Options

    Late to the party in replying to this post; however, I'm an AMC warrior and United is very favorably considered among those about to depart active duty. Their mil to civ hiring process seems to be one of the better options out there.
